Another succesful Board Yard Sale was held on Sunday at Freshwater, with a great turn out for our yearly fundraiser in support of Lifeline Northern Beaches.
With shortened notice we still raised $2,450 for Lifeline, while adding to our team total which competes in the Lifeline Classic on November 17th.
Boards of all shapes, sizes, and ages were on sale with some incredible bargains going down.
While extending the life of pre-loved boards, it also passes on the stoke to a new owner, or provides an opportunity to try something a little different.
A big thank you goes out to the volunteers who helped run the day, especially Marty from Butterbox Cafe for handling the accounts and transactions, plus all the participants who came along.
Payments to sellers will be put through this afternoon, and we're still looking for a few more donations so we can reach our $5,000 target. Click here to donate to the Swellnet team.
A final thanks to Tony Palmer for taking these great images from the day, with a full gallery here.

Congratulations Craig and crew - I've run a few of these board swap events and it's not easy - it's a logistical nightmare - and for the most important cause there can be - Lifeline - 'coz mental health issues affect everyone. Thanks for your collective dedication.
Cheers RR, yes logistically quite a task.
Looks like there were some cool boards there. Any of particular note?
One that stood out to me was a yellow Christenson twin that was in near perfect condition and went for $300 or so. Some other insane deals as well.
